## What I'm looking for

```text
I want to work on real prediction problems—time series, NLP, and risk scoring—using strong evaluation and clean feature engineering. I’m looking for a team that values measurable impact, mentorship, and ownership from modeling to deployment-ready outputs.
```

## About

```text
I’m an early-career data and machine learning practitioner who turns messy data into reliable predictions—forecasting trends, scoring risk, and extracting signal from text. In internships, I developed time-series and classification pipelines that improved accuracy and reduced error using methods like Auto-ARIMA, LSTM, feature engineering, and cross-validation.

My work spans end-to-end modeling: EDA and benchmarking, imbalance handling, and rigorous evaluation (MAE, ROC-AUC, F1). I’ve built projects such as BI-RADS classification from mammography reports using TF-IDF, ensembles, and transformer-based models (BERT), plus churn, time-series forecasting, and fraud anomaly/risk scoring systems.

I also bring practical, results-driven thinking from real-world problem solving—expanding onboarding across Southeast Asia and designing an agro-input business model through P&L and logistics planning. I’m recognized on Kaggle as an Expert (Top 2%) and achieved a high rank in the Predict Customer Churn competition, and I enjoy pairing strong modeling with clear analysis for actionable decisions.

## Experience

### Partnership Strategy Intern

Mitti Labs. May 2025 - Jul 2025

```text
Expanded operations across Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Indonesia by securing regional implementation partners, increasing Southeast Asia onboarding by 25% (10k+ acres). Designed an agro-input business model using P&L analysis and logistics planning, enabling market entry with an anticipated $2M annual profit within 12 months.
```

Skills: Partnership-Development, Business-Strategy, P&L-Analysis, Logistics-Planning, Market-Analysis, Southeast-Asia-Expansion

### Prediction Modeling Intern

Yhills. Aug 2024 - Sep 2024

```text
Built a time-series forecasting pipeline on 50k+ stock records using Auto-ARIMA and LSTM, reducing MAE by 20%. Implemented feature engineering and walk-forward cross-validation on 100k+ data points and benchmarked multiple algorithms to improve final accuracy by 8% over baseline.
```

Skills: Time-Series, ARIMA, Feature-Engineering, EDA, Benchmarking
